Serial No. 486,464.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a window having two sashes which are movable relatively to each other and horizontally of the window frame to open, or partially open, the window. The construction is such that the window may be opened in various ways to direct the air entering the window as may be desired.

A further object of the invention is to pro- .3 vide a window with two sashes which are hinged together with means for guiding one of the sashes in the window frame.

Still another object of the invention is to mount in such a manner the window sash which is connected with the window frame by guiding means that it may be extended from the window frame, it being also possible to extend the other sash from the window frame, and there being means to support the sashes in extended positions.

The invention also comprehends a window in which the sash, which is connected with the window frame by guiding means, may be readily and conveniently removed from the window frame.

The invention furthermore comprehends a window with sash cords and weights with blocks secured to the sash cords on which a sash is detachably mounted.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of the invention is described.

In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts in all the views,

of which Figure 1 is a side sectional elevation of the window frame which is the subject matter of this application,

Figure 2 is a fragmentary view showing in rear sectional elevation the construction illustrated in Figure 1,

Figure 3 is a side sectional elevation of the window with one of the sashes extended,

Figure 4 is a fragmentary side sectional elevation similar to that shown in Figure 3, but with the upper sash, which is hinged to the lower sash, disposed at the inner side of the lower sash and the lower sash raised,

Figure 5 is a fragmentary sectional view illustrating a modified form of the invention.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that a window frame 10 is provided, this window frame having guideways 11 at its sides with recesses 12 in the said guideways. The window frame 10 also has guideways 13 spaced from the top of the window frame, the lower sash 14 being disposed for movement in these guideways 13, but, as will be shortly described, it is possible when desired to move the lower sash 14 to a position above the guideways 13 so that the sash 14 may be removed from the window frame.

Hinged to the top of the sash 14 there is v a second sash 15, the top of the sash 15 being preferably provided with a catch 16 for engaging a recess 17 at the top of the window frame 10 to hold the sash 15 in the window frame. The sash 14 has bolts 18 which are preferably at the top of the window sash 14 and which are disposed in sleeves 19 secured to the window sash, the sleeves 19 be ing provided with springs for holding the bolts 18 extended, these bolts 18 being provided for movement in the guideways l1 and for insertion in the recesses 12. The bolts 18 at their inner ends 20 are preferably provided with eyelets which are connected by a wire or cord 21, so that by pulling the wire or cord 21 inwardly the bolts 18 will be moved out of engagement with the recesses 12, which will make it possible to adjust the lower sash 14 vertically in the window frame 10. It will also be understood that the bolts 18 may be withdrawn, not only from the recesses 12, but also from the guideways 11, so that when the upper sash 15 is turned inwardly and downwardly relatively to the lower sash 14, which is possible because of the hinged connection 22 of the upper sash with the top of the lower sash 14, the lower sash 14 may be moved to a position where it is disposed wholly above the guideways 13 so that the lower sash 14, together with the upper sash 15, may be removed from the window frame.

When the bolts 18 are disposed in the upper recesses 12 the bolts 18 will have a limited vertical movement in the said recesses 12 inasmuch as these recesses 12 extend vertically a sufficient distance to permit this movement. When the bolts 18 are disposed at the bottom of the recesses 12, the lower end of the sash 14 will still be in engagement with the guideways 13 so that the lower sash 14 will be prevented from moving inwardly relatively to the window frame. However, when the sash 14 has been moved to a. position where the bolts 18 are disposed at the top of the recesses 12, the lower end of the sash 14 will be disposed above the guideways 13 so that the lower sash 14, together with the upper sash 15, may be extended to the position indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 4. Hinged to the outer sides of the window frame at 23 there are sash supports 24, the sash supports 24 having flanges 25 which are adapted to engage the nndersides of the sash 14 for supporting the said sash 14, together with the sash 15, in positions extending inwardly from the window frame 10. This feature of the invention is clearly illustrated in Figure 5 of the drawings.

hen the sash 14 is disposed at the bottom of the window frame 10 and the sash 15 is moved inwardly on its hinges 22 to the position indicated in Figure 3, the sash supports 24 may be moved so that their flanges 25 will engage the underside of the sash 15 to support this sash 15 in the position indicated in Figures 3 and 6.

It will be understood from the above that the sashes 14 and 15 may be disposed in several positions relatively to the window frame 10 to open desired portions of the window and, further, to direct the air entering the window as may be desired. It will also be understood that the sashes 14 and 15 may both be conveniently removed from the window frame 10.

In the modified form of the invention illustrated in Figure 7 of the drawings, sash pulleys 26 are pivoted in the window frame 10 and sash cords 27 with sash weights 28 are provided, the sash cords 27 being secured to blocks 29 having recesses 30 in which the bolts 18 are disposed. With this construction the sash 14 may be raised and may be supported at any desired height and the positioning of the sashes 14 and 15, which has been described with reference to the construction shown in Figures 1 to 6, being also possible with the modified form of the invention illustrated in Figure 7 of the drawings.
